This POW Record is probably for Thomas A. McWhirter as he was captured and taken POW at Vincent's Crossroads on October 26, 1863, escaped and was captured again. He was held at Cahaba Prison but escaped and walked back to Decatur, AL where he thought his regiment was but they had already left on the march to the sea. He finally caught up with them.

This should be T.A. McWhirter, for Thomas A. McWhirter, son of Andrew Ferrier McWhirter and brother of George Washington and Andrew Jackson McWhirter. There should be one Muster Roll for Andrew Jackson McWhirter showing where he was released from Adams USA General Hospital in Memphis, TN but they must not have copied it.
